The car finally went into the dealer today. They did a software update, but also identified a fault with the heater motor. The latter has to be ordered from Europe and could be up to ten days. I’ve got the car back in the meantime, still no motorway journeys for us.

Hi @squirrelz that sounds exactly like our issue. I don't think I've ever seen the power meter get to 100%. Fingers crossed the update will solve our issue too.

I’m pretty certain it’s not a setting because sometimes it will get there.

We got the car at the end of June. It went into the dealer second week of August to look at a dead battery issue we experienced in the first two weeks of owning it. I would have hoped any outstanding updates would have been done then.

I’ve read about half of the 50 or so pages of bowfer’s speed problems and I think we’re experiencing the same thing in an SE SR 23 plate. Typically we don’t take the car on fast roads, it’s mainly used for a daily short commutes on local roads. I’ve noticed behaviour where power drops off at 55...

Wow, he really does know his stuff!

Yes, we have the SR model. Based on normal usage we don’t need to charge every week and have an Ohme charger. Charging to 100% will be easier given that the Ohme and the car don’t talk to each other.

Thanks again Rolfe. We’ll start doing some 100% charges and see how we get on. I’d been staying away from them for battery health, but it sounds like it’s needed in this case. The car is also a lease, so the long-term health is less of a concern.

Thanks Rolfe, interesting points. What do you mean by balance at 20 watts?

We’ve had the car for six weeks now. The 12v battery problem happened in the first week and hasn’t happened again. I’ll see what happens with the range over the next week or so.

Thanks.

We had our MG4 at the dealer’s yesterday to look into the issue where our 12V battery was flat shortly after delivery. They found no fault and put it down to a requirement for the initial dealer to completely charge and completely de-charge the main battery before delivery. When we picked it up...

Very concerning to hear. Not further incidents for us, it’s going into the dealer in a few weeks.

Ours is going into a not-so-local dealer a week today.

Thanks Rob, looks like that will be handy to have. Local MG dealership can't see it for a month, not impressed. The vehicle is through Octopus though and they say someone can see it early next week. Waiting for a date and where they want it to be taken...

Thanks for the replies. The AA guy couldn't find the cause of the drain, time to speak to the dealer...

We've had our MG4 for just over a week and it's been great so far. Unfortunately my wife came to drive it to work this morning and it was completely dead. It was also blocking in our other car on the drive... Luckily in this case we still had my wife's old car, so she's taken that to work. The...

We've just come out to our MG4 with the same problem this morning. We've had it for nine days... AA have been called, we'll see what they say.
